THE SPIRIT OF THE PLACE /
In a unique landscape where a mountain range runs parallel to the coast, ancient schist terrain, cloud condensation, and the gentle ocean breeze come together, Pêgo da Moura wines are born. In the Serra de Grândola, the vines grow deep roots, surrounded by the Mediterranean forest’s characteristic elements and a cool nighttime climate shaped by Atlantic breezes.
The refreshing presence of the Ocean acts as a temperature softener and solar reflector for the schist-covered soils, which absorb daily heat and release it gently during the night. Here, in this unique place, nature partners with technology to produce superior quality grapes, giving rise to distinct and authentic wines. With great freshness and elegance, a firm structure, and great complexity, they come from this unique terroir and express the spirit of the place.
/ The Knowledge of the Land
The authenticity of the place, the interaction between man and the land, and the work of time have written the history of the first vineyard planted here.
Serra
de GrândoLa
In the Serra de Grândola, the wind dances through the vineyards, whispering ancient secrets between the golden, rolling hills. The sandy, limestone soil holds the essence of the land that nourishes the grapes and the history of the vines. By day, they are touched by the generous sun, and at dusk, they are cradled by the gentle breeze descending from the mountain, blending with the warm scent of the earth. In this vast undulating expanse, the wine plunges its roots deep, revealing intense aromas and flavors that emerge from the heart of the land, celebrating life.
MELIDES
Between the gentle hills and the horizon line, in the golden vineyards of Melides, the wind brings the scent of the sea and the whisper of distant mountains. In this place where the land, sea, and sky meet, the vines preserve their purity and authenticity. Here, the sunlight delicately selects the grapes, while time moves slowly, like an invitation to patience, the true essence of wine. With fresh, mineral flavors as intense as the landscape that frames them, the wine is a celebration of the passing of time and the eternity that remains in the land and the vineyard.
On the golden slopes of Pêgo de Mora, where the wind whispers tales of the past, the vineyards under integrated production grow unhurriedly, in harmony with the land. Guided by ancestral wisdom, they follow the natural rhythm of the seasons, ripening slowly and creating wines with environmental responsibility. The quality of the soil and the preservation of biodiversity foster a balanced ecosystem, where diverse fauna and flora thrive. The result is authentic wines with genuine flavors that reflect the full complexity of the terroir and the unique character of the land, the climate, and the place.
